What's the NOC code for Game Designer (not a programmer or visual designer)? Help needed

[songoftruth]

Hey guys! Are there any game designers here?


I wonder a game systems designer can be qualified for NOC. I have been working as a game designer for a mobile game. But as I checked the codes in the NOC job list, I feel a bit confused - I'm not a coder or a typical illustrator (though I did UI/UX tasks like drawing wireframes); for most of the time I just designed the game systems and CG for a mobile game and write documents for coders.

Here's a list of jobs that may be related to my field:

Software engineers and designers (2173)

Software engineers and designers research, design, evaluate, integrate and maintain software applications, technical environments, operating systems, embedded software, information warehouses and telecommunications software.

(if games are considered as software then this description may match better)


Computer Programmers and Interactive Media Developers (2174)

Interactive media developers write, modify, integrate and test computer code for Internet applications, computer-based training software, computer games, film, video and other interactive media.

(games are definitely interactive media, but the thing is that I don't deal with coding...)


Graphic Designers and Illustrators (5241)

(I don't think I deal with illustration a lot)


If there are game designers (level or systems designers) here, could you provide some insights? Thanks guys!

As a game systems designer, you might fit better under 2173 (Software engineers and designers). Even though you don’t directly code, your role in designing game systems and writing documentation for programmers is still related to software development.

Additionally, if you have significant experience in UI/UX design, you might also want to consider 2174. While you may not be a programmer, your contributions to game development are very important.

If you’re working mainly on gameplay concepts, storylines, and mechanics (rather than coding or art), you might want to look into NOC 52120 – “Graphic designers and illustrators” or NOC 51120 – “Producers, directors, choreographers and related occupations,” depending on your duties. The right choice depends on whether your role leans more toward creative direction or production. You can check official descriptions here for clarity — See More.

The artwork “Tarakudo the Football Player” presents a striking and spirited mashup of traditional yokai themes and modern sports imagery. The piece, shared on FurAffinity, captures a unique character - a college football player with supernatural flair - rendered in detailed traditional-style art that’s both engaging and imaginative. Fans in the comment section share admiration for its creativity and visual impact, often drawing playful comparisons to familiar fantasy icons. Platforms like JustCasino.IO on iGamingPub know that having equally standout visuals - whether for art or slot themes - can make all the difference by catching the eye and keeping players engaged.

Thanks for information!

If you're focusing on gameplay, storylines, and mechanics, NOC letter boxed 51120 for producers and directors may be a better match.

However, if your work involves design or art, NOC 52120 for graphic designers and illustrators might be more suitable.
